The decorations of the hall and the ball-room were, if anything, superior to the ball of last year, which we noticed in our Journal. The walls, hung vtith fine old armour and flags, resembled the banqueting hall of one of the ancient feudal Barons. The company included many distinguished persons. The Committee of Gentl-men • -- the Hon. Col. Clive, M.P., Si r Offiey Wakeman, Bart it' Francis Holyoake Goodriche, Captain Pakington, M.P., 4 e., who had the management of this splendid ball, deserve great credit for their munificent provision, the arrangements bei ng, without exception, the best that have ever been made for this annual dance. , MARRIAGE IN HIGH* LIFE.—On Wednesday last. at Wentworth House, the seat of the Fitzwilliam family, to Yorkshire, Mr. James J.

CUSTOM-HOUSE REFORM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. STR,—It is gratifying to find that the Commissioners of Customs, or some of the Officers under them, have at length listened to the universal complaint of the annoyance to which passengers were subjected in passing their luggage through the Custom-house. As it is much more agreeable to praise than to blame, I have great pleasure in stating that on ar riving in the river from Boulogne (in the Queen Adelaide) on Saturday evening, the passengers were put to no incon venience that could possibly be avoided. Portmanteaus, carpet-bits, and hand-baskets, were not, as formerly, thrown pell-mell into the hold and kept at the Custom-house till Monday. Three or four officers were stationed on the gangway, who, with great civility and expedition, examined every small bag or basket as the passengers left the vessel, and the Captain announced the joyful news which the mate reiterated with alacrity, that all the luggage would be cleared through the Custom-house that evening. This was between eight and nine o'clock. I did not wait the result, as, fortunately, I had no occasion, for the few ar ticles 1 had were passed at once, but from the arrange ments and the activity displayed I have no doubt that little delay took place. When there is a will there is a way ; and as the way here is alike convenient to both parties, Custom-house officers and passengers, one would be sur prised—if inveterate custom, however absurd, had not ceased to surprise—that the reform had not been found out long ago. If this practice is persevered in, we may then boast that we beat the French, and all other European nations, in nearly all respects, in what, to a great commer cial country, is of the first importance, facility of intercourse and communication. In one instance still we are behind them. We put a stop to all communication by either the General or the Twopenny Post-office in the ca pital for twenty-four hours every week, to the great inconvenience of the public, and without serving one good purpose. Some foreigners who came by the same conveyance, and who wished to communicate with their friends next day, were greatly surprised to find that no letter would be delivered or could be received by calling at any post-office, within thirty-eight hours after their arrival. 1 may add that an instance occurred on board the vessel which proves how ignorant, obstinate, and ungrateful too, John Bull is, under certain circumstances. A regulation has been in force for some time, I heliew, which prevents the officers from searching the persons of any individuals coming from foreign countries, unless on information that that they have concealed about them articles liable to an import duty. One of John's fraternity, who seemed deter mined to take advantage of this considerate and judicious order, took a number of articles out of his portmanteau, pocketed them before the Custom-house officer, to the great amusement of the bystanders, and vowed vengeance on any one that would dare to lay hands on them. How he was served afterwards I cannot tell, but this I know, that under such circumstances the French Douaniers, and very properly too, would have marched him into a private room and stripped him to the shirt. Oct. 15, 1838. A TRAVELLER. ILLUSTRATIONS OF NATIONAL MANNERS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) I went from t ngland a few weeks ago by a steam vessel to Hamburg, and passed up the Elbe on a beautiful Sun day evening. There was a considerable number of boats on the river, some of them employed on business, but the most of them were pleasure-boats. All the people, whether engaged in business or pleasure, seemed to take a great interest in our noble steam ship, and we passed no boat from which we did not receive a friendly greeting or kind inquiry, or, by taking off the hat, a cheerful salutation. On shore also there were numerous parties walking about, or sitting before the house-doors, or playing on grassy lawns, or conversing under shady trees, smoking their pipes or drinking • their coffee. Not one of these parties, and scarcely a single individual, as we passed up close by the bold shore of Blankenese, but waved to us, with his hand; or her handkerchief, a cordial welcome. The whole scene was one of lovely and brotherly kindness. A few days ago I returned in a similar steam-boat to England. As the vessel came up the Thames every busy person seemed in clined to think that she was one too many, and instead of the kindly salutations, with which we were received in the Elbe, I heard only growled out in loud and angry tones such phrases as these—" Gal% you take care," " Mind where you are coming," " Do you mean to swamp us ?" till the climax came of " Damn you—go to hell,"—which I immediately recorded in my memory as an illustration of national manners. Rudeness of this description is not peculiar to any occupation, and is not therefore to be as cribed exclusively to our sailors, but is a part of out cha racter, to be found in our country villages as well as in our crowded havens. What may be its causes, philosophers may perhaps inquire, but it is plain that those whose duty it is to cultivate and refine the national mind, and who re ceive large revenues because they effect that, have left the manners of our lower classes rude and barbarous. HURRICANE IN SCOTLAND. We were visited on Thursday by a severe gale from the westward, which rendered walking in, the streets somewhat unsafe from the falling of chimney-cans, slates, and stones, from house-tops. A chimney in the Castlehill fell across the whole breadth of the street, but luckily caused no accident. At the south-west corner of Bank-street a large stone fell directly on the chair upon which a woman, who keeps a fruit stand, was accustomed to sit, and smashed it to pieces. She had cnly left her seat a few minutes previous. The Dundee mail, by way of Newhaven Ferry, and the Perth mail, by Queensferry, were considerably behind time—from the diffi culty in making the passage across the Frith—the one about three hours, and the other two. The sea was dreadfully rough. The hurricane abated, however, towards evening.— Scotsman. At Montrose on Thursday there was a complete and de vastating hurricane. We lament to state that the Suspension Bridge here has, by the awful storm, been rendered impassable for a time. Exposed as it was to the whole force of the hurri. cane, and from its great length, a very considerable vibration was experienced on the bridge during the afternoon and even ing ; and at twenty minutes before seven, a large portion of the platform or roadway started and sunk, with a report resem bling that of distant thunder. Portions of the wooden material of the bridge have been washed in on Rossie Island. It is aseertaire - d that no person passed through the Toll on the south end immediately previous to the accident; and we fervently trust there had been no more from the north. The mail from Aberdeen, which arrived in rather less than an hour after it was due, was detained in town during the night. Sorely tried as the tension rods and chains of the bridge must have been, they have stood firm and do not appear to have sustained the slightest injury. We anticipate, therefore, that the interruption to the ordinary communication will only be for a very limited period. Nearly an hour after the accident at the bridge, and exactly as the work people were leaving the premises, the chimney of Messrs. Richards and Company's power-loom factory, which:was ninety feet high, gave way, and two-thirds of the erection, about sixty feet, fell on the boiler-house, carrying with it a considerable portion of the roof ; but we are happy to learn that no personal injury was sus tained. It was fortunate that, in falling, the chinirey took that direction in which the least mischief could be done. Consi dering the vast number of individuals employed in this work, their escape, without accident, is most providential. A gen tleman who passed, after dusk, from Rossie Island, by Dun Bridge, to Montrose, informs us that in the course of that long circuit (of seven miles) the stooks are completely levelled, and in various places large trees are uprooted and thrown on the road. Within the burgh the number of chimney cans strewn on the streets is very great; in the High-street many panes of glass have been broken, and several shop-keep ers closed up their windows ; many gas-lamps, especially in sonic of the cross streets, were extinguished, and the confusion was thus consequently increased. Gardenr, have suffered se verely. The hurricane abated about eight P.M., although the wind still continues very high. Lamentable as are the losses to property which we have briefly noticed, we fear that still worse accounts will yet be received of the eff,ets of this tre mendous gale, by far the heaviest we have been visited with for many years. THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER.—The Chartists lack neither activity, vigour, nor determination of purpose in the prosecution of their objects. We see almost daily reports of meetings for the adoption of the Charter in various parts both of England and Scotland. Our views on the impolicy of agi tating for a remote and impracticable object instead of concen trating the ardent and undivided energies of the great body of the Reformers for an attainable good, need not iteration. In our requisitions we place food first, the Suffrage second. The right to vote appearing to us seconday to the right to live, we would first obtain untaxed bread, and then demand an ex tension of the Suffrage. MRS. PARKER.—A report of some proceedings at Bow-street appeared in our last publication, in which this person, who is the widow of Parker, executed for being con cerned in the mutiny at the Nero, whose fate has always ex cited much sympathy, laid claim to some property near this city, and represented herself to be unjustly treated. We are enabled to state that she has no cia;m on the property in question. It is true that proceedings on her behalf were taken to obtain it, and that twenty years ago she obtained a verdict, hut it was subsequently set aside by the Superior Court, on the ground of its having Leen obtained by fraud and perjury, and the property immediately passed into the hands of the le gitimate owner. Mrs. Parker never received a farthing from the property, and was never in possession of any portion of it.—Exeter Flying Post. The St. Petcrsburgh Journal contains the fol lowing statement of the exports and imports of Russia during 1637 Exports. Imports. Foreign countries Finland 5 882,:356 1,244,029 Poland Roublrs In 1836 the exports amounted to 283, 748,233 roubles, and the imports to 2:37,251,204 roubles. CORN -LAW FALLACIES, WITH TilE ANSWERS. (Continued from The Sun of Wednesday.) 117.--TuAnxsuivino FOR THE HARVEST.—It has already been stated that Lord E. at a recent meeting in Northamp tonshire, expressed himself strongly in favour of a general thanksgiving for the harvest, and that his Lordship's views had been adopted and enforced by the Rev. Sir G. R.—Conser vative ; Journal and Church of England Gazette, 6th October, 1838. _ ANSWER.—/The landlords have effected turning the blessing of a good harvest into a curse. Men pray for a few bad harvests in succession, as the cheap way of remov ing the overbearing evil. If any such " Churching" of the Corn-laws be attempted, the people will do well to meet it by collecting in their ovtn places, and repeating the " Prayer against the Aristocracy" from the Morning Chronicle of the 29th September. Lord E. and the Rev. Sir G. R. know their interests, and the people know theirs. 11 8. —The violent clamour which is now raised by Whig- Radicals and revolutionists against the Corn-laws, is only an additional manoeuvre for deranging and destroying the exist ing constitution of society,—ld. - A.—So said the Border cow-stealers, when Bailie Jarvie and his fellow-workers set about making every man live on his own. And true enough, it was a deranging and destroying the existing constitution of society. It was pulling down a dishonest constitution of society, and setting up an honest one instead. 119.—and, if successful, must be followed by national bankruptcy, anarchy, and ruin. —ld. A.—The cow•stealers, in the same way, prophesied the end of all things. Chaos was to come agan, when there was no eating other people's beef. 120.—1 f the taxes are now raised with difficulty, even with our present arrangements, what would be our situation if the landed proprietors were read: red insolvent?—/d. A.—We must lay the taxes on the honest people in stead. It might as well have been pleaded, that without cow-stealing there would be nobody to pay taxes. 121. —Who, then, would be the customers of our rnanu facurers?—ld. A.—Those who had the money honestly in their pockets. The fraud attempted to be put on the manufacturers is, telling them that unless they let their tills be rubbed, there will he nobody to purchase at their shops. 122.—Take a farm of 900/. a-year in its gross produce : of this 3001. comes to the landlord as rent, 300/. goes to the far mer for his capital and management of the crops, end the re maining 3001. is spent ott the cultivation, and as wages to the labourers. Compare this receipt and expenditure with that of capital employed in trade or manufacture, and you will at once perceive how much more beneficial to the public, though not to the proprietor, is the expenditure of agricultural capital a, compared with that employed in manufactures, or in foreign trade.—ld. A.—A manufactory where 6001. a-year is produced to the conductor F, nd his workmen, does the same as the last two items here enumerated. The difference, therefore, is this ; that the landlord has 3001. a-year raised for him by the contributions of the eaters of bread, without working For it. This is the way in which the application of money to land is peculiarly " beneficial to the public." 123.—8ut if the produce of this farm were reduced to 600/. per annum, then the rental would probably not exceed 150/., because the expenses of the cultivation would remain the same ; and what, then, would the proprietor be compelled to do ? He mut take the farm into his own hands, and thus save the ex pense and destroy the profits of the farmer. Would this be of any advantage to the middle classes of society ? Would it benefit either the agricultural or the trading part of the com munity ?—/d. A.—" C'ircumbendibus" apart, the landlord would be cut down from 3001. a•year to 1501., and some other individuals would keep 1501. in their pockets. The argument, there fore, is, that those other individuals ought to subscribe it for the landlord. As if it would not do just as well where it is. 124.—The outcry which is made against the owners of landed property, is the most senseless and unfounded which can possibly be imagined. It is raised agairst men who sel dom receive more than four per cent. for the purchase m oney of their estates, a n d w h o never rece i ve more t h an o ne-third of their gross produc e i n th e s h ape o f rent . —ld. A —lf high wa y men so ld t h e i r wa lk s as m ilk men do, —it would be no justification of hi g h wa y ro bb er y, that it was difficult for them t o ma k e more t h an four per cent. on the purchase money ; an d j ust as li ttle, that after pay i ng f or hire of horse and pi sto l s , t h ey h ad never above a th i r d o f the booty left for themselves. Honest rent has something less substantial about it than any other kind of property, and is to a greater degree the creature of public consent. But the dishonest, which is raised by Corn-laws, is the si m pl e f orm which highway robbery has taken since the roads were guarded by a horse patrole. 125.—0ut of a farm of 9001. per annum, 6001. goes among the middle and labouring classes of the people before the land lord receives a sixpence !—ld. A.—Let the landlord be thankful that he is allowed to raise 3001. a-year out of the pockets of the bread-eaters through the price of corn. But let him not go about to make his 3001. a-year 6001., by robbing with a Corn-law besides. 126.—We by no means wish to undervalue the importance of our foreign trade; but it would be impossible to show that any foreign trade can produce such home expenditure as agriculture, amongst the middle classes of society.—ld. A.—The great difference appears to be, that in trade and manufactures there is no 300/. a-year levied for the landlord for doing nothing, out of the pockets of other people. 127.—A great part of the profits of foreign trade must always go among foreigners, and of the remaining profits nearly the whole is absorbed by the master or proprietor. There is no home farmer, no middle man, the intermediate third belongs to the foreigner.—ld. A.—We want to have the trade that is profitable to ourselves, without caring how profitable it may be to the foreigner besides. The great charge against us is, that we do not levy 3001. a-year from the consumers, for a land lord who does nothing. 128.—These are plain facts, founded on no dubious specula tions of political economists. They deserve the candid atten tion of all who would not wish to se© England become the prey of unprincipled vagabonds and scoundrels. The ruin of the landed interest would not only be the ruin of the best por tion of the community, but the certain destruction of the whole kingdom—and nothing but rapine, beggary, and bloodshed would prevail.-- Id. A.--An accumulation of evils, from the cessation of cow stealing! But " they deserve the candid attention of all," who would not wish to see England in the situation so well described. TO BE CONTINUED. COMPARISON OF FOREIGN GRAIN AND FLOUR WITH THE ENGLISH MARKET. The price of white wheaten bread of the first quality at Paris is 72ic. the loaf of 2 kilogrammes, which is less than bid. the loaf of 41b. English weight ; and the price of bread of the first quality in London being 10d. the loaf of 41b., the difference is 538 per cent. that bread is dearer in London than at Paris. The highest quotation of flour of the first quality is 67f. the 159 kilogrammes, which answers to 425. 2d. the sack of 2801 b. English weight, and the highest quotation of flour of the first quality in London being 60s. the sack, it fol lows that flour is 424 per cent. dearer in London than at Paris, and that with the sum of 31. a man may buy 3981 b. of fine flour at Paris, whereas with the same sum he can buy only 2801 b. in London. According to the official return the average price of wheat at Paris for the preceding month (September) was 18f. 78c. the hectolitre, which equals 435. the quarter. The following is the state of things in other parts of France :- At Abbeville the highest quotation of wheat of the first quality is 25f. 50c., which equals 58s. sd. the quarter. At Bergues the registered price of wheat of th€ first quality is 28f. 51c., of the second quality, 26f. 71c., and of the third quality, 25f. 37c., which gives a mean price of 26f. 86c., and which answers to 61s. 7d. the quarter. At Bordeaux wheat rules from 21f. to 22f., which is from 483. Id. to 50s. bd. the quarter. At Blois the registered mean price of wheat is 20f, 88c., which equals 475. 10d. the quarter. At Rouen wheat rules from 22f. to 24t'., which is from 50s. sd. to 555. the quar ter. At Verdun the quotation of wheat of the first quality is 20f., which equals 455. 10d. the quarter. At Marans wheat rules from 17f. to 18f., which is from 38a. 111. to 41s. 3d. the quarter. At Toulouse the highest quotation of wheat of the first quality is 20f.,': which equals 455. 10d. the guar t.tr. At Soissons the quotation of wheat of the first quality is from 304 f. to 313 f., of the second quality from 292 f. to 303 f., and of the third quality from 268 f. to 288 f., all per muid of 13 hectolitres, which gives a mean price of 22f. 67c. the hectolitre, and which answers to 51s. 1 ld. the quarter. The highest quotation of flour of the first quality is-68f. the 159 kilogrammes, which equals 425. 10d. the sack of 280Ib. English weight, and the highest quotation of flour in London being 60s. the sack, it follows that flour is 40k per cent. dearer in London than at Soiss :ns, and that with the sum of 31. a man may buy 3921 b. of fine flour at Soissons, whereas with the same sum he can buy only 2801 b. in London.

CHRONICLE.—More than usual attention has been directed in the City, within the last few days, to a Corn pany recently formed in New York, termed " The North American Trust and Banking Company," as it is proposed to connect it more closely with this country, by raising a portion of the intended additional capital in London. Pro spectuses for this purpose have been issued by the firm of Messrs. Palmers, Mackillop, Dent, and Co., and the under taking, it is said, is strongly supported by leading bankers at the \Vest-end as well as in the City. The chief object, and which is of the utmo,t importance to the mercantile interests of this country, is to protect, it is declared, the American British trade as much as possible from the pecuniary inconvenience to which it has hitherto been subjected. The difficulty which every branch of trade and commerce has had to contend against since the panic of 1836-7, from the almost total impossibility of doing business on credit, is but too well known ; and, there fore, any undertaking which would assist the fair trader, while proper security is given for the advances, must of itself be a matter of great consideration to the mercantile and manufacturing interests of this country, who are now almost wholly without orders, and suffering so acutely from from the stagnation of trade. The system hitherto adopted of drawing bills backwards and forwards, and the acceptor relying upon the drawer to meet the bill at maturity, has been the ruin of the country, and any thing which will su persede it must be a benefit. This, it is sail, will be effected by the working of the new Company under their trust business, by granting loans upon the deposit of pro perty, while the Company are compelled, under the New Banieir ° r Act of the state of New York, to issue the notes of the Comptroller-General. By this new law, in fact, the state of the affairs of any new Bank are put under the supervision of the Court of Chancery, and none can issue their own paper, but that only of the Comptroller- General of the State, which is given upon the deposit of security ; while the notes are still payable on demand at the Bank. There is necessarily, there fore, much greater security afforded to the public under the new system than ever was before ; and a trust Company is, moreover, bound by law to render annually to the Court of Chancery, and oftener if required, " a true and just account of all and every trust fund in the posses sion of the Corporation, the object and intent thereof, and the manner in which the same has been vested and applied." The Act also requires that any trust created with a Com pany " shall be confined and solely applied to the purposes and intents of such trusts," and that the Corporation " shall keep separate books and accounts solely for the objects of such trusts," the effect of which is that the trusts are distinct, and that the property assigned for each, with the whole capital of the Company, are re sponsible for such trust respectively. The business under " trust," which is little known in this country, except as far as the Court of Chancery is concerned, is to receive moneys for account of public establish lishments, widows, orphans, trustees under marriage settlements, executors, and judicial tribunals ; aisa from persons in business who seek a temporary employ ment of capital, and from those not engaged in active pur suits who desire permanent employment of their funds. For these monies the companies allow the depositor an in terest, varying from three to five per cent., and they re ceive from the borrower interest at the rate of seven per cent., the difference of interest and the accumulation upon it constitutin g the profit of the company in the transaction. In other words, " where real estate trusts are created, the parties desire aid to pay off existing incumbrances upon the property ; in such cases the company, having received a perfect title to the real estate in fee, issues its certificates of trust redeemable in twenty years, bearing interest at five per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly. The company receives from the cestui que trust seven per cent. interest, being the legal rate in this state ; the difference of two per cent. per annum constitutes the earnings of the company for the execution of the trust." The present undertaking is under the presidency of Joseph D. Beers, Esq., with Myndert Van Schaick as his deputy, and the existing capital is 2,000,000 dols., which it is now proposed to raise to 10,000,000 dots. Of this, 5,000,000 dols., in shares of 100 dols. each, are to be is sued here, to be paid for between this and the 13th of August, 1839, in eight instalments of 10 per cent. each, and one instalment, the last, of 20 per cent. ; the first be ing payable on the first of November. The dollar to be estimated at 4s. 6(1., but the premium upon the bills drawn for the instalments to be allowed in deduction of the last payment. Subscribers are exempt from personal respon sibility. We have entered thus fully into these details as much misconception appears to exist in the minds of some persons as to the solidity and security of American under takings, more especially as regards banking and trust ope rations ; and we have, therefore, taken this opportunity of putting the case clearly before the public. Whatever may the defects in the new law of banking in the State of New York, it is evidently a great improvement upon the old system, and the plan of " trust," we believe, has been found successful wherever it has been undertaken. It is represented, indeed, that the wants of the trading community in New York require additional banking capi tal, and that there is no doubt the banks forming under the new Act will be of great importance to the commercial in terests generally. It is indeed remarkable that after the late severe pressure on the banks, the shares of all the New York city banks, incorporated by that State, with the ex ception of one or two minor establishments, are now above par, and the dividends are from Bto 10 per cent. The number of banks in the State of New York is ninety-five, their aggregate capital being 34,351,460 dollars, of which 22,000,00 0 dollars appertain to banks located in the city of New York. In Pennsylvania the number of banks is fifty, including the United States Bank, forming together ca pital of 58,750,338 dollars. In Louisiana the number is six teen, with a capital of 36,769,455 dollars. It will therefore at once be seen that New York, which may be considered the metropolis of the American Union, and where naturally the great bulk of all money settlements must centre, has less banking power than two other of the sister States. HERALD. —Considerable anxiety has been manifested by our commercial interests to ascertain the contents of the letters and papers which hive been received by the Sheffield packet, via Liverpool, from New York, to the 15th ult. Up to a late hour this afternoon, there has not been any public delivery of papers or letters, but on the authority of a private communication, we are enabled to state that the commerce of the model republic was gra d ua ll y i mprov i ng. Th e exchange on this country had considerably advanced, and was then quoted at the rate of 109:i a 110, whilst United States Bank Shares were 123. This evident in crease in the value of bills upon England appears, accord ing to the information which we have received, to have arisen out of the circumstance that the bills drawn for cot tons exported to this country had in a great measure been a nticipated by the bills already drawn by the B an k o f the United States and other establishments in the southern and western portions of the Union, though we believe that one cause of this advance in the exchange has arisen out of the pro gress which is making in the liquidation of the last por tion of the American commercial debt. A new project is on foot for the purpose of extending the capital of the North American Trust and Banking Company. This Association, which was originally esta blished for the purpose of receiving deposits, to be laid out on bonds or mortgages, has so far prospered that it has been determined to advance the capital from 2,000,000 dols. to 10,000,000 dols., and to carry on a banking business under the new banking law of the United States. The project has been well received in the City, and considerable countenance has been given to it, from the circumstance that the highly-respectable house of Palmer, Mackillop, and Company are tl.e agents for this new project. POST.—A prospectus has Just been issused, inviting lish capitalists to participate to the extent of 5,000,000 of dollars in a new American bank, under the title of " the North American Trust Banking Company." 0f thi s undert a ki ng a ll we can say at present i s, t h a t it is introduc e d to the Money Market of Great Britain under the auspices of a house extensively connected with Ame rican commerce, and inferior to none in reputation for pru dence and integrity, or for the commercial success which generally accompanies these qualities.

NEW VOLUME OF TIIE STANDARD NOVELS.— TUE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN BLAKE; OR, MY LIFE.— This work, by the popular author of " St ories of Waterloo," Mr. Maxwell, does not now for the first time, come before the world. It originally appeared in three volu mes, and met a most cordial reception, but Mr. Bentley has now thrown it into a more portable and economical shape — p rintin g the three volumes in one, There are few modern novels which take a greater hold of the reader than "My Life." We caution our friends not to open it when it will be inconvenient to their leisure to finish it—for they will find it difficult to to lay it down again until they shall have drunk it " to the very dregs !

THE BISHOP OF EXETER AND MR. HEAD. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) EXETER, OCT. 13.—The topic of universal discussion at the present moment is the rebuke which the Rev. H. E. Head has received from his pious diocesan. The Bishop having in the course of his confirmation tour to visit Ho niton, in which district Mr. Head's parish is situate, took care to have matters so arranged that the Rev. Gentleman should be present to undergo any censure, or receive any rebuke, which the episcopal office enabled his Reverence to inflict. Mr. Head, who is a devout and simple-hearted man, is no more fit to cope with Phillpotts than a child with a giant. The Bishop drew him into a correspondence in tending, it is supposed, to visit him summarily, if he had given a legal avowal of the authorship of the letter. To what extent this punishment might have extended, the knowing- in matters of Church discipline may perhaps in form you. Some say the stripping off of his gown. How ever, the Bishop being with his clergy at Honiton on Tues day last, proceeded to deliver a bitter speech on the occa sion, reading the correspondence as he proceeded. The Tory paper had been apprized of the Bishop's intention to take vengeance on the Rev. Gentleman, either by himself or some of his officials, it is supposed ; and so a Reporter was sent up, and the Bishop having delivered himself of the speech, in the course of which he read the correspondence, gave the letters to the Reporter for publication; and having, it is also added, taken the precaution to correct the report of his speech, the whole story is now circulating in the Tory papers, garnished with the letters at full length. The Bishop appears to be much scandalized at the un ceremonious manner in which Mr. Head tackled his " Supe rior." He charges him, in effect, with perjury, in having neglected to do duties which he had sworn faithfully to practise, end goes on to show that Mr. Head had only taught the children of his flock their duty towards God from the Bible, when he ought to have been teaching the doc trines of the Sacraments, as contained in the Catechism. I send you one of the papers containing the speech and correspondence, and do pray give us a little sunlight on the subject. Mr. Head is brother of Sir Francis, and a very excelleLt man as I before said. He has been pestered to death nearly by the importunities of considerate " friends," who are anxious to see him stand well with the Bishop. To these importunities he has yielded, so far as to acknowledge the supremacy of our Devonshire Pope, but he does not appear inclined to give him any further practical advantage. RADICAL DEMONSTRATION AT HULL. Last Frith) , afternoon, at a public meeting called by the Committee of the Working Men's Association, to adopt the National Petition and People's Chatter, and also to elect a delegate to the National Convention in London. Colonel Tiromrsoe came forward, and was received with great cheering and waving of hats. He said—Townsmen— You well knew from the connection which has been between as, that I could not hesitate to present myself at the call of any portion of you ; still more when I was aware that I should see here a meeting of the honest and industrious classes— not, it may be, very learned —not, it may be, possessed of what the world calls power and grandeur, but possess ing those qualities which enable our countrymen to boast, that whenever they take a question seriously in hand, it always ends in their success.—(Loud Cheers.) Look back upon your history, see what there is that has not been carried by resolution and perseverance. I came not here to flatter you—l came not to buoy you up with false hopes—but to tell you that if you enter seriously and steadily upon the demand of that which justice would give you, you cannot ultimately fail.---(Cheers.) You will be disappointed if you think to gain much hastily, perhaps by any single advance you could describe or calculate upon; but everything has a beginning—every march is begun step by step; your's is the first step here, the second will follow ; you will stand one by another—you will gain the assistance of the better part of the other classes—(Cheers) —and see if the time does not come when we look back upon this day with gratitude to Him who gives us resolution to persevere unto the end.—( Cheers.) And what are you here for? You are here to ask the right of having, not everybody's share, but your share in making the laws you are to obey.—(Cheers.) Is it said you would legis late for all ? It is a foul calumny. You demand only to have the fair effect of your influence, after it has been strained upwards through that of all the other gradations in society-- you ask that your poor man's vote shall go as far as a poor man's vote may finally be worth. Because you are the nume rival majority, does it follow that you must carry all before you ? Do you carry anything like all now ? Is there any fear that you will be too powerful ? Do not you sec daily and hourly your influence directed by your masters—by those with whom you are connected in your trade and business? They have influence over you; has anybody said they ought not ? You only demand, then, that you shall have en honest share in the composition, which makes the difference between free men and slaves.—(Load cheers.) It is hardly necessary for me to point out the ways in which you suffer from the want of all legislative power. You have laws which, for the benefit of one overbearieg class, restrict the industry of you all ; which stop your ships, lay an embargo on your port, limit the number of your seamen, and confine the prosperity of all within an arbitrary rule. Well, then, you have determined on a cer tain course. And when that has been tried, what is your in tention next? Perhaps I may be charged with anticipating, but you certainly will not be long before you find that question force itself upon you. I will tell you what you must do. You must do as your fathers did—you must turn politicians at large—you must not say we will have this thing and that thing—but you must fight the battle wherever it is to be fought. Who is there here that ever worked with a baffling wind into Gibraltar Bay? You went before the wind when it was favourable, and when it was not, you did the best you could to hold your own ; if you could not gain on one tack you tried another, and so went on till by God's blessing you got into port.—( Cheers.) Just so must you do here—gain all you can, and above all things make a stout resistance to any diminution of the privileges you have already. What hope you may have from the present Government it is not in my power to point out. I never wish to set class against class; there will be always in a country like this, a variety of shades of political opinions—we must encourage no bitter feeling against men who go less lengths in polities than ourselves. I speak of those classes—not the Ministers—who go by the name of Whigs.—(Mr. O'Connor here arrived, and was greeted with hearty cheering.) I was saying that we must not un necessarily seek a quarrel with any class of political opinions —the time will come I hope when we all shall move together again for the common good. What are we all, but Whigs risen upon—risen a good deal you will say ; but with them was the beginning. But I can hold out no hope to you from the men they have made their Ministers—on the contrary, honesty obliges me to declare, the sooner you succeed in removing them the better.—(Loud cheers). Never give in to that feeblest of all fallacies—the engaging to support bad men be cause there are some worse.—( Cheers.) The business of a small political party was to have acted between the two great parties, threatening each alternately—and so making activity make up for weakness. Never give in to that folly, or treachery, which abandoned Canada, and ultimately Ireland, for the sake of some six months safety to the latter, and then turns her:over to her enemies, after having thrown away the defence which was in her reach before.—( Cheers.) I have stood here by the side of great men—you know it is not in my desire to speak amiss of them—but I think the time is not far off, when they in dust and ashes will repent the course they have followed with respect to their own country, and equally so with respect to ours. When dan ger comes to Ireland, where can she look for support but to the English Radicals, described as so without talents, with out leaders, without anything that makes a political party respectable ? It is not the Radicals who have deserted Ireland er anybody. But fear the Whig-Radicals—distrust the Whig-Radicals—the party who, instead of showing front against the invaders of liberty, have bent and bowed when they were in a position where a bold defence might have served their cause. Listen to my own experience of them ; for I have a sort of obligation to speak to you or, what has be fallen myself since I saw you last.—( Cheers.) Much have I been decried for certain events which took place in a London constituency—Marylebone. Hear my account, and if you have reason to distrust me, do so ; but if not, believe me on my word.—( Cheers.) It so happened, that before the conclusion of the last Parliament, I bad been invited to stand for two several boroughs against a Whig. I replied —as you I think would have done in my place—the Whigs and we are acting together—they promise further Reform, and we believe. them—is it proper that at such a moment I should make myself a party to break up that alliance, and bring on myself the disrepute and disgrace of having been a treacherous ally ? In one of those places I should have been to a certainty returned ; in the other, not. What was the consequence? 'When a general election came, the Whig-Radicals said to themselves, " This man must be a fool ; he is honest, and we must make a set at him." In Mary lebone, where I am a resident, I had many months before been known as a candidate ; but no such measure was meted to me, as I had given others. I was opposed : and how ? They called a meeting by advertisement, professedly, to decide which candidate should stand, and inviting me by name. I went th ere accompan i e d b y f r i en d s. Ad then came forward the great Leader of the Whig Radicals—l grieve to sly it, because I loved the man ; he came forward and gave his word to me in that manner which I would have believed from the mouth of every dragoon in my troop, that the meeting was net a public meeting to decide upon the can didate—that the declaration to that effect was the mistake of a district committee—and that it was a private meeting of the other candidate's friends. We went away ; and he then took the chair, and declared it to be a meeting to decide between the candidates—" He hoped that all would be heard, be wished the whole parish was here."—( Loud cries of " Shame.") And so, after sending us away upon his word passed to us, he declared the majority to be against us ; and upon that declaration so obtained, th e peopl of Marylebone were in duced to vote against me. That is a specimen of Whig- Radicalism, given us through their organ, their chief. I have said it in print, and I say it again out of print. " I'll not march through Coventry with such a party."—( Loud cheers arid laughter.) My advice is, then, suspect the Whig-Radi cals Cheers)—they will let you down when they ar e able. Such among th em as are honest, for there are honest men everywhere, will join you upon occasion ; but your business is to try to set up th e R a di ca l i nterest b y itself. Is may be at first, you ma y h ave on l y two or three men in the House of Commons—there will be more at some time.—(Cheers.) But I was telling you not to hope anything from the present a equal as an g at you s unjust e ja t u the t chance Ministry. What hav e th ey done—vvhat was their first de claration after myself an d ot h ers had res raiat• -to op. pose them at the electi ons ? T hey ca e own by their leader in the House of Com mons , and de \ e'd- tbat :they • . intended to have no further R e f orm ? ti' j a ss o f political fraud ; were we not all d ece i ve d -0 . may be easy to take in honest men onc e , b ut not Ma 6: ' ( EherZ . .l . N leader himself got elected for Stroud. I k now something of the men of Stroud • they were the men wh o b egged that all commercial monopolies might be removed, o n con di t i on that the great monopoly of the Corn-laws was remov e d a l ong with them. Ido not think the leader of the House o f C ommons told the men of Stroud, he always tho ug ht th e supremacy of the landed int e rest necessar y f or th e s t a bility o f our i nst i tut i ons. I think h e k e pt it t o hi mse lf ; an d y et di rect l y a f terwards he made that enun c i a ti on i n th e H ouse o f C ommons. M y advice then is, petition f or a new P ar li ament , an d on t hi s very ground, that the old P ar li ament was e l ecte d un d er f a l se pretences. That would carry y our cause f orward b y a long tide's. work. At present they thi n k t h ey h ave you fast for six years ; you see a specimen of the b eaut if u l wor ki ng of the Septennial Act. The Ministers come f orwar d a f ter concealing their inten t ions , o f thelives and when o fman y of u have sthen they fora time lo set you at defiance. But there i s anot h er reason which you should urge. Your Resolution s a y s , " t h at this meeting is of opinion that the great mass of the p eop l e cannot but view the House of Commons, as at present constituted, a usurpation of the national will." This may be called strong ' lancruage ; but let us see who can be go t to support us in it and here have we not got the Hous e o f C ommons them, selves? The present House was elected under that most unjust regulation, which said that no man should sit who could not prove that he had a pecuniary interest in you depression of your commerce. That regu l at i on they have this Session removed, but they have n o t as k e d f or a new Par liament. They have admitted that th ey were elected under an unjust regulation—is it then un j ust that you should ask leave to elect again ? B u t I will give more reasons why you should never trust the Government at present at the helm. Two great rights, either of which our fathers would have defended at the cost of a civil war —they have taken away from us, I am sorry to say almost without resistance by the people. The people were sleeping, I sup.. pose, or fattening, or anything but up and doing. In the first place, they have taken away the right of petitioning. Petition me no petitions, to be put into a basket ; you could do that at home.—( Cheers.) They have passed a rule that there shall be no speaking upon petitions. They know the danger ; it was on petitions that energetic men were in the habit of making outbreaks favourable to the popular cause, and perilous to the do.nothing system of the Government. They have taken from you at one swoop that right. You know the other right our fathers contended for as a last resource —the stopping the supplies. That too is gone. They tried a simple trick, but it answered only too well. They made the experiment in Ca nada, and because some men's names there ended in " eau" or " ac," they thought it would not be minded here. They turned out the troops upon the people as the French King did in the Three Days, but unhappily not with the same result and we have men here, professing to stand as watchmen on. your tower, who say their truly British spirit forced them —to take side with the grenadiers.—( Hear, hear.) If the troops were turned out upon you to.morrow, would n o t these men take the same side again ? It is perhaps a thing to thank Hea ven for, that we have bought experience cheaply. e c c o Oc rr n e t ty h i‘ : l m ary . acre I was revived and strength ene d b y the speech Wood at Sheffield—a noble and a ga ll ant speech, but on one th particular point I take e liberty professionally to h Ile says the unfortunate people of Canada " unsheathed the sword." It has been my trade to watch such thin g s , magistratesto kn ow who unsheathes the sword; it wa s t h e G overnment un sheathed the sword here.—( Cheers.) Th e i r fi rst operation was to put down the press by the action of a mob, the and troops standing by to support. They then seized upon the leaders of the people—" the tall poppies," as they called them. Who can say who may be the tall poppies next? If your leaders were s .ized by military force, and dragg e d hrough the streets with ropes round their necks, would you not resist if you were able ?—( Cheers.) Before we can make peace or truce with the party who has done this, we must have certain individuals given up for justice. Should a struggle ever arise between the people and their enemies, I trust the people would use their victory as generously as the French in the day of their success—they wheeled their conquered ene mies out of France in a coach and six. —(Cheers.) I trust we should not be behind them in generosity to political enemies; but the blood of unarmed prisoners has been shed, and for this there must be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth—. (Cheers)—in the shape of personal reprisals on those who have committed themselves by atrocities on the unarmed.— ( Cheers.) What will foreigners think of us? We declared Spain disgraced when persons were massacred in cold blood—and they have in Canada imitated the actions of Don Carlos? There was a gallant foreigner, his name no ill one,—Moreau, —his rank a Colonel's—this man they brought out and murdered in cold blood ; none of the population, negroes and all, would do the deed, and so the sheriff—God bless him —murdered him himself.--( Hear, hear.) What was his crime ? He was captured, as many Englishmen have been, assisting an injured people to resist the illegal outbreak of their military despots, and for this they murdered him. —( Shouts of " Shame.") Other brave but unfortunate men were captured—one a member of the Assembly, the other a substantial yeoman,--and when their wives presented them selves to beg their bodies from dissection, they were refused. Could you not join with me, in calling for one long curse upon the men who have thus dishonoured us ?—( Loud cheers.) Let the Lords take care of the things of the Lords, our business shall be with the Commons. Their leader in the House of Commons has a wife—a fair one, I have heard, and good. If she should at some time beg for her husband's body, what could she say against the justice that refused her? 0, why will men thus forget the world's mutability, an because they were born in pampered aristocracy, make light of the tears of those beneath them 1—( Cheers.) These men have put blood between us • we will trust any body else but them.—( Cheers. ) We will ta ke nothing at their hands ; there can be no peace till somebody else is sent out to treat with us.—(Cheers.) You have determined, then, in the first instance, to get the suffrage for all.—( Cheers.) But neglect not other subsi diary objects--such, for instance, as shortened Parliaments. I was one of those who professed themselves willing to agree to Triennial Parliaments; but since the notable fraud which has been put upon us, I never will be consenting to any such com position, unless accompanied with a provision that one-third shall go out annually. Another important point is the equa lization of the representation. Why should a petty borough, with some 250 freemen, send two representatives to Parlia ment, and an extensive and important town send none at all, or only the same number ? On all these points, go on. There has been much nonsense talked about the difference between moral and physical force. Moral force means nothing but the acknowledgment of the physical force which would back it if need were.—( Cheers.) Let us then have no hair-splitting about the impossibility of acting by moral force and physical force at the same time. Physical force, happily, is not necessary here. I know not anything that could make necessary the employment of physical force, except such an outbreak as that made upon our countrymen and friends in Canada.—( Cheers.) God forbid that I should be among the seen to admit that, in such a case, physical force should not be brought forward to resist. But do not talk of it as the means of increasing your political power. In fact, it is not fair. It should not be for honest men to be charged with violence. Let us reserve in awful privacy, as something not to be mentioned needlessly, that circumstances might be conceived to justify the physical force our fathers had recourse to. It is not necessary now ; there are other means of obtaining your honest end. In these courses then proceed, and heaven prosper your cause. [The Colonel retired amidst long-continued and enthusiastic cheers.] • The Hull Journal, in which we find a report of the meeting, states that it was not very numerously attended, as a bad day had been selected, but that the numbers at the meeting were about as large as at Liverpool. " This shows," says the Journal, " that in sea-port towns, where the pressure of poverty is not now felt so much as in manufacturing places, but where labour is plentiful, and wages comparatively good, political agitation is not so active. Let the shoe but pinch here, and a slack winter come—we should then have the labourers of our town demanding in assembled thousands that the present state of things should not continue, as loudly as we find it in the manufacturing districts." The times of George the Third and George the Fourth, attention to which has recently been drawn by a Learned Lord in the late numbers of the Edinburgh Re view, will receive additional illustration in a Novel announced under the title of " Melton de Mowbray." The author a dis tinguished character, mixed extensively among the best circles, and was indeed at one time among the choice friends of the " first gentleman in Europe." The story is one of powerful interest. THE'. HULL COUNTESS.—This lady honoured York races last week with her presence, and excited great curiosity. She is the same person who some years ago ap peared in the ball-room at Doncaster races as the Countess Schwartzenburg, and led off the ball with the Mayor of Don caster. She was then under the protection of the Noble Lord, who was much surprised on finding from those who had known her ladyship in early life, that the ci-devant Countess was in fact a milliner from Hull, who had been for some time in the habit of playing off these pranks. Oa other occasions she has figured as the Countess de Sierawska, representing herself as the widow of a Polish Count, and again as the Mar chioness St. Arden and Lady Cecilia Ferguson.
